Glad to hear that you got it working. There are a few options that you
can set in the plugin code itself.  You need to set your time zone and
whether it looks for progams currently playing or also include shows
that are going to start shortly.  Just edit out the # for your time
zone and edit out the # in the now / nowsoon section to make your
choice.

As it stands, the PublicRadioFan plugin only searches the site for
stations that are streaming in a MP3 format.  When the plugin was
written that was all SlimServer was able to play in a streamed format. 
I am currently working on updating it to also parse out RealAudio and
WindowsMedia streams since they can now be played as well.  

I have a rough hack in place where it can parse out and play either
MP3, WM or RA stream. The only problem is that the plugin, as written,
can only look for one format type at a time.  I don't have enough perl
skills yet to alter the code to look for multiple format type
simultaneously. 

If anyone would like to give me a hand with it, I'll take all the help 
Ican get.  I wrote to the original author of the plugin, but haven't
heard back.
